research Exploring the Overlooked Roles and Mechanisms of Fibroblasts in the Foreign Body Response

17 citations , July 2022 in “Advances in Wound Care”

This review discusses the roles of fibroblasts in foreign body response and highlights the need for further research on their specific functions to improve antifibrotic and regenerative therapies.

Gamma Delta 17 T Cell-Stromal Networks Modulate Matrix Composition and Vascularity in Foreign Body Response

research γδ17 T cell-stromal networks modulate matrix composition and vascularity in foreign body response

1 citations , April 2026

This study found that γδ T cells play a role in regulating stromal behavior, influencing the composition and vascularity of fibrotic tissues during the foreign body response.

Beyond Appearances: Foreign Body Reaction of Hair Follicles as a Complication of Inflammatory Tinea Capitis Resolved

research Beyond Appearances: Foreign Body Reaction of Hair Follicles as a Complication of Inflammatory Tinea Capitis (Kerion Celsi) Resolved

March 2026 in “South Asian Research Journal of Medical Sciences”

In this case study, a 7-year-old boy with kerion celsi experienced persistent inflammation even after microbiological clearance; dermoscopic-guided removal of hair and keratin debris improved his condition, suggesting a novel inflammatory mechanism involving granulomatous response to keratinous debris in tinea capitis.

research Reactive oxygen species–degradable polythioketal urethane foam dressings to promote porcine skin wound repair

116 citations , April 2022 in “Science Translational Medicine”

This study found that the hydrophilic PTK-UR foam with EG7 repeats significantly improved wound healing in porcine skin wounds compared to other scaffolds, suggesting potential for synthetic biomaterial applications.

research ROS-Degradable Polythioketal Urethane Foam Dressings to Promote Porcine Skin Wound Repair

2 citations , May 2021 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)”

In this study, hydrophilic EG7 PTK-UR foams promoted better wound healing and tissue integration in a porcine model compared to more hydrophobic PTK-UR variants and a polyester-based alternative, while matching a collagen-based standard.

community Evolution theory: AGA is your body trying to reduce the risk of prostate cancer by exposing your scalp to more UV

in Research/Science 9 months ago

Androgenic alopecia (AGA) might have evolved to reduce prostate cancer risk by increasing UV exposure to the scalp, but this theory is debated. Treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are used for AGA, though the exact causes and evolutionary reasons for hair loss are unclear.

community 5 months difference. Thoughts?

in Is this regrowth? 84 upvotes 1 year ago

The user has been using topical minoxidil and finasteride since January and added topical dutasteride last month, seeing significant hair regrowth in five months. Other users shared their experiences with similar treatments, discussed side effects, and asked for details about the user's routine.

community 35M, before/after Finasteride 1mg Daily for 4.5 months

in Progress Pictures 82 upvotes 10 months ago

A 35-year-old man has been using Finasteride 1mg daily for 4.5 months with no noticeable effects on hair loss, and he is considering adding Minoxidil to his treatment. Other users suggest that significant improvements may take up to 18 months and recommend additional treatments like Minoxidil, microneedling, or switching to Dutasteride.

community Minoxidil works amazingly, you just need to give it time.

326 upvotes 9 months ago

Minoxidil can effectively promote hair regrowth with consistent use, but results differ among individuals. Some recommend combining it with finasteride for better long-term results, though OP chooses to use only minoxidil and accepts the possibility of going bald.

community Beyond Minoxidil & Finasteride: What if the Answer to Male Pattern Baldness is... on Our Faces? (A Naval Officer's Wild Idea & Why It's Not So Crazy)

10 months ago

Exploring the idea of using facial hair properties for scalp regeneration in male pattern baldness, considering the potential of transferring androgen-resistant characteristics from facial hair to the scalp. Challenges include complexity, scalability, aesthetics, and safety, but the concept encourages innovative thinking beyond current treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and hair transplants.
